New favorite food. When you just need chocolate. Yum yum not bad for you n it tastes like chocolate fudge brownie.

I was craving something sweet and chocolate and this was amazing tastes just like a fudge brownie totally in love. I only ate about 4 slices of banana but I ate all the chocolate hummus. Delicious

Oh my I must go get some of this! Sweet baby ray’s was my favorite barbecue sauce I had no idea they made one with no sugar added. Oooo that looks amazing

I recently had the gastric sleeve done. I noticed one day after when looking at my incisions and such that the right side of my abdomen is concaved or collapsed inward?

i was wondering if anyone else had this. My doctor and nurse said not to worry but looking at other post ops mine is just... weird. I don’t know if it has to do with the fact I had a hernia removed as well during surgery or that I also have a VP shunt that drains into my stomach.

I added a picture and it’s not gross just... weird as I said. I’m not hurting past the gas pains and of course from the surgery itself.

I am new to all of this and I hope you don’t mind me asking what area Protein crisps?

I use e. g. these - they're made out of sunflower Protein. They have a rather neutral taste but add a nice crunch.

I was really tested today... My boss bought lunch for the whole department to Celebrate a successful project for my team. I don't want anyone at work to know I had WLS, so I couldn't tell him that I didn't want any of what is usually my favorite meal. He got individually packed meals since that's the company's policy during the pandemic. I figured I'd just be "busy" during lunch and not take a meal and no one would notice since he got extras anyway, but my boss personally brought my meal -- which did not include anything I can eat at this point -- to my desk.
So not only did I not get to partake in the celebratory meal, and had to watch my coworkers enjoy food I love but can't eat, but I had to sit next to the delicious-smelling food and stress out about what to do with it (all while contemplating what exactly would happen if I just gave in and ate it anyway). I couldn't bring myself to throw it in the trash, so I brought it to another team's office and told them we had an extra one (hope that didn't arouse too much suspicion; their boss was there and is friends with my boss). My boss wanted to do something nice for my team, but it was just sad and stressful for me. It's such a stupid little first-world problem but it ruined my day.🙁

I am having VSG on July 7. Still feels so far away.

These are seriously good. Hard to believe they are only 38 calories.

Aldi!!!! 😍

I always recommend people not to weigh daily in order not to get discouraged at stalls. However, I can't seem to follow my own advice as I weigh daily. I CERTAINLY don't practice what I preach! 😊

I am right there also. I have been stuck at losing n gaining three pound for almost three weeks it’s very frustrating and disappointing.

So, first time posting in this thread. I definitely need to work on plating and food photography. 😂 This is my after 😬. I ate about half. 1/2 sheet whole wheat lavash bread with an ounce of reduced fat cream cheese, one slice of uncured Black Forest ham, and a big handful of micro greens sprinkled with everything but the bagel seasoning. So good for my after workout snack. 😊

Let me know what you think when you try it !♥️

That looks amazing! I had Morning Star Farm chicken patty for lunch and it tasted delicious but yours look amazing I may have to try that. Yum!

I had my surgery on Wednesday, August 5th. While I was in the hospital, I kept complaining about something stuck in the back of my throat. I told multiple nurses and no one took me seriously. After I got home, I started having more issues where it was difficult to swallow my pills because it was in the way. I went to an urgent care today who told me that it is my uvula and it's extremely elongated. He recommended I go to an ENT. So I called my doctor and explained the situation and I am waiting for a call back. I think it is a problem from the intubation. Has anyone else had this issue?

Ugh. So I just made the most delicious almost zero-carb Pasta carbonara and totally forgot to take a picture of it. I ate it all, so no evidence at all!
Anyhoo it was: 1/2 package shiratake noodles, 1 slice of bacon, 1 egg & some parm cheese (and black pepper).
Fry up the cut up bacon until crispy, add shiratake noodles to pan and toss to coat. Remove from heat, add beated egg & parm and toss as heat of noodles will cook the egg until creamy. Season with pepper, Enjoy! #soooooEasy

Agreed. New and Improved - you have no idea WHY people chose or have to have one surgery over another ! I will give you an example - RNY involves a by pass of intestine. That causes the body to not be able to absorb both foods and certain medications that may be necessary to continue to LIVE. RNY patients cannot fully absorb medications that are meant to be delivered to the body through the intestines. Personally, I had inquired about RNY 15 years ago and was told I could not have it because of that issue. I was told a new surgery was on the horizon but not readily available - and to wait a few more YEARS. Perhaps to avoid having people jump all over you, you might use the internet to look up things to increase your knowledge base BEFORE you post.
